- There was choppy equity market trading through the overnight hours in Europe
and in the US premarket. However stocks
are sliding lower after an hour and a half of cash trading as the benchmark
yield creeps lower and the dollar weakens. Brutal selloffs among the big
and small tech momentum names are hammering the Nasdaq. As of writing, the DJIA
is down 0.38%, the S&P500 is down 0.41% and the Nasdaq is down 1.48%.

- Natural gas is up nearly 3% this
morning after the weekly EIA inventories report, back at levels seen in the
late February cold snap. The gain in inventories were the first build in 2014,
however the gain was much weaker than expected.

- US weekly initial jobless claims hit
300K, a seven-year low, while the four-week moving average for new claims
dropped to 316K. Import prices increased 0.6% m/m in March after rising
0.9% in February, topping expectations thanks to a big jump in food prices.
Note that the annualized data was negative, supporting the continued weak
outlook for inflation.

- Chevron is down 1% after warning in its interim first quarter update that
earnings would be lower than fourth quarter as a result of adverse FX effects
and selected asset impairment charges. Absent these impacts, Chevron said
earnings would be comparable with the prior quarter's results.

- Ebay reached a deal with Carl Icahn
to end his proxy battle. In exchange for appointing Icahn's man to the board
(he originally wanted two), Icahn has agreed to withdraw his PayPal spinoff
proposal and will sign a confidentiality agreement, ensuring that
further conversations about enhancing shareholder value stay private. Ebay's
CEO observed that the proxy battle was not helping shareholders or innovation,
while Icahn called the deal a "win-win."

- BlackBerry's CEO said the company
would consider exiting its handset business if it remains unprofitable,
adding that the time frame for such a decision was short. He also said it
should be possible for BlackBerry to make money off shipments of as few as 10
million a year. He said the company was on track to be cash-flow positive by
the end of the current FY and to return to profit next FY. BBRY is down 2.3%.

- March same-store sales were mostly in
the red, as continuing bad weather kept consumers at home, although the
declines were generally not as bad as projected by consensus expectations. Most
major retail stocks are losing ground. As usual, the big outlier was
Costco, where a healthy +6% comp beat expectations. In earnings, discount
retailer Family Dollar missed top- and bottom-line expectations, cut its FY14
outlook and warned it would lower prices on a wide range of items. FDO trading
has been volatile post earnings. Best Buy remains near its post-earnings low,
down 6%.

- Pawn shop name Cash America is up more than 9% this morning after hiking its
first quarter guidance much higher. The company said results were above
expectations due primarily to lower loan losses in the online consumer loan
portfolio, greater retail sales net proceeds and better operating efficiencies.
EZPW is up 1% in sympathy.
